Thread: Why not have a chemical warfare suit?
It would have extemely high encumbrance, no protection against anything other than poison and disease and a low durability similar to a PSG. It would replace all your armor ecxept maybe the breastplate. It would require a BE and tailor to make it, giving 2 underused classes something else to do.
If you wear it the ranged people would tear you apart, and if you dont the CM's will kill you. This would make it harderfor a single CM to grief people and might make things more interesting in a large scalePvP encounter. Its just a thought.
amen, I like the idea tremendously. puts an interesting check and balance into all levels of the game. provides strenghts as well as vulnerabilities. but most of all, it increases necessary versatility and strategy in pvp encounters. i like it
Horrible idea. You want to take the 1 CM skill and render it 100% useless. FYI not all CM's have a weapon, so if you go handing out suits it makes our 1 combat attack 100% useless. I dont get a eyeshot suit, or a flamethrower suit, so why should CM poison have a counter and no other attack doesnt? Riiiiiight

While I am picturing the look fo teh suit in my head (and digging it), Khragon speaks truth. Maybe it only works if it is 100% (perfectly brand new). So you would be protected until that first blaster/claw hit on you. So a CM cannot start the fight just by lobbing a poison but if you are already hit...you are vulnerable, but even this idea has it's flaws because you are going to get hit. It might help for only a second.

Eyeshot suit = HELMET, A composite helmet sliced is upto and PASSED 68% resistant to acid, that will put an eyeshot down to less than 100 points a shot.
Exactly, even with a Comp helm that good, at 100 damage per second its a 10 second death 10 X 100 = 1000...dead. Thanks for proving my point. I guess we all have to carry around Krayt made perfectly sliced comp helms to fight BH's. and even with one we last 10 seconds, but we want a 100% resistant poison suit lol. I love it.
well, why is there no protection from X equipment? i'm not big into BE and armorsmithing (i'm not a big PvP person, and i like my camp pants) but where do you find protections from poison and bleeding and blindness and dizziness and all the other negative states in the game?
